Well, it depens how horrible that other job would be.
I guess I would do the higher paying one.

I'm actually planning on doing the former pretty soon here, depending on salary. It'll give me a lot of experience, and I'll have quite a lot in the bank, but life will be hell.
After I build up quite a savings, and experience, I'll go on from there. I might have my first child at that point, maybe not. Not sure.
What if you get sick from that "life of hell"?You will have to invest all your savings in you health .......so is it worth that job ?After I build up quite a savings, and experience, I'll go on from there. I might have my first child at that point, maybe not. Not sure.
I was planning on living in the environment for about 4 years total (on and off over an 8 year period). The stress from 4 years of working this type of environment vs the chance of being a nervous wreck due to financials not being 100% there, I'll take the former.
As for my health:physically, my health would be improved. Mentally, it'll be a burden.
You already are living in "the environment", aren't you? Aren't we all?
Probably 50/50. That would be the best solution for me.
Would you rather: Make a lot of money doing a job that makes you miserable or barely make ends meet doing something you love? Thoughts?
Make a lot of money doing a job that makes me miserable, till I saved up enough, then do something I love.Anyway, it depend on the person, is s/he is need to have a lot of money? Or is s/he capable of enduring that 'barely'. I think when we love something, we can go through that 'barely'...
My photographer friend even gets sponsored to travel around and take pictures of beautiful places like the Himalayas because his skills are just that good!
And they probably both make considerably more than if they had stuck with a job they disliked instead
I would be miserable and make a lot of money from my job. Only because living standards are going increase forever, and the money will make a difference.
Esp, when taxes are forever increasing as well.
The pay will also make up for me to take vacations too.

It depends on the type of jobs..

^Get a real job, problem solved. 
I can tell you I once applied for absolutely standard cleaner job ( I promise I wasn't being picky in the slightest, not like some of the people out there with masters degrees ) so I could work part time or something and it was taken the very same day, not just the next day, the exact same day it was posted up, I had called them up to see if that would increase my chances and get their attention.
People who tell unemployed people to get a job don't know that there really aren't any fucking jobs out there, not even basic ones, might be worth having a search around again but I'm very doubtful and I'm almost ready to release my products now anyway and I want to see how well that will go first, plus, building a business is way more fun despite the stress lol.

I'm currently in the barely make ends meet phase, in fact, I'm technically in debt, my parents are being nice enough to support me so I have no choice but to make sure I work my ass off so I can make some money, I have absolutely no idea how well it will go, this being the internet and all I think doing what you enjoy is always the best drive for actually making a lot of money because otherwise if it was something you'd hated then you'd never put in any effort.
That said, I've tried my best to keep costs down, I'm technically getting two subjects for the price of one ( University is stupidly expensive and inflexible for someone like me ) and I'm staying at home to cut the costs even more, so while that leaves me with pretty much no social life I'd say it's worth it considering how much I've learned in the past couple of years and yes, I find this infinitely more enjoyable than the idea of an office job or going to university.
All I want now is to be self-sufficient and have my own house! >_<

Everyone wants to do what they love to do Of course, not hard to choose, IF YOU NEED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MONEY AND HAPPINESS? Of course you choose happiness without any doubt. 
If we are happy what we need more? Nothing.

Do a job with plenty of money and be miserable for a while but if the job is similar to a broker your health could be at risk. In the end you take the fast car or the slow one both will arrive at there destination but one is more dangerous
